I have not forsaken you. It may seem that we are like ships that pass in the night, and I rarely stay as long as I like when I do come to see you, often falling asleep the moment I arrive. I heap chores on you, my children climb all over you and bounce uncontrollably sometimes.
When you first came into my life, I was so grateful- you made me so comfortable, you opened yourself to my family and welcomed each addition. You were there when our second daughter decided she was ready to come out and greet the world (actually you were a big part of she and the new baby's conception), you have cradled me in sickness, snuggled me when I was sad- caught my tears and muffled my laughter.
I vow to visit you more, my dear bed, and I will try to keep the children from jumping.

Your bed's lovely ode.

Oh how tender! So full of family and life and intimate moments. Your bed is likely thanking you right now, for this lovely sentiment. :)
